A loud-mouthed House Democrat totally flipped out after being totally exposed and humiliated after moving to subpoena Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Wednesday.

As The Hill reported, Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) moved to subpoena Rubio, U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner before the House Foreign Affairs Committee over the war in Iran by the end of April so the American public and Congress “can hear from them directly on the most pressing international security matter facing Americans today: President Trump’s war of choice in Iran.”

“If this committee cannot hold hearings on a war involving U.S. forces, the diplomacy around it, and its impacts on our allies and partners, then we are not meeting our most basic oversight responsibility,” he added.

But Meeks’ showboating quickly came back to haunt him. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast (R-FL) proceeded to humiliate him by exposing a damning truth: not only had Meeks not been showing up for classified briefings, but he had often been late for those he had attended.

Hearing this sent Meeks over the edge, and he yelled at Mast for several minutes. He falsely accused the Florida congressman of covering up for Trump and not holding public briefings.

He also again demanded that he call Witkoff, Rubio, and Kushner in to testify.

Mast somehow managed to keep his cool, even offering to keep Meeks posted whenever there’s a briefing, public or private, on the calendar. Meeks, of course, refused to listen and continued shouting.

The exchange concludes with Meeks continuing to scream, “Do you believe the American people deserve transparency!” and yelling for public hearings. In contrast, Mast continued to tell him he could start showing up to work.

WATCH:

MAST: If you want to know what’s taking place with the activities in Iran or anywhere else, feel free to attend any of our fly-in classified briefings, which you don’t attend at all.

I’d also encourage you, when we have the classified briefings with Secretary Rubio, Secretary Hegseth…You might want to take a few notes because you are forgetting every single thing that they told you, which is every single detail you want to know about this conflict.

MEEKS: There haven’t been numerous; there’s been three! One with the Gang of Eight…

MAST: I can use my dictionary…

MEEKS: Do your job and lead this committee, and let the American people have some transparency! We need to have some transparency for the American people; we need to have public hearings!

MAST: Goes on every week. I can let you know when it happens. You can put it on your calendar.

MEEKS: We haven’t had any public hearings! What are you hiding?!

MAST: We have a hearing going on right now.

MEEKS: The three people who have been going through all the negotiating are Mr. Kushner, Mr. Witkoff…And we need the Secretary of State. Those are the individuals that need to be here!

That is why I am asking to have a subpoena to have them in this room…So they can have questions asked to them by Democrats and Republicans!

MAST: Like our classified briefings that you must have forgotten about.

MEEKS: I know you want to protect the president, and the way you want to protect him is by not calling his people…You just want to give them a (free pass) just like the Duma does for Vladimir Putin.

No responsibility! No oversight!

MAST: Attend the briefings that we have, you’d learn quite a bit. You could even consider showing up on time.

MEEKS: Stop covering up for the Administration! Don’t be a rubber stamp!

MAST: You have someone here before you. I’d encourage you to ask some questions.

MEEKS: I will.

MAST: I look forward to hearing it. Again, I’ll make sure to update you on when our classified briefings are…Hopefully we don’t see any more public excuses why you don’t show up to classified briefings.

MEEKS: Do the American people deserve transparency?

MAST: They deserve to know that everyone involved in their national security apparatus is actually paying attention to the issues.

He Loves Jesus, So They Called Him Crazy And Cut Him (VIDEO)

Close-up of a man discussing the impact of faith on his basketball career, with Chicago Bulls and NBA logos in the background, highlighting themes of personal belief and sports. Today on Stinchfield, NBA rising star Jaden Ivey is suddenly out after speaking out against what he says is a forced LGBTQ agenda inside the NBA. The Chicago Bulls cut him loose, the media calls him unstable, and the left says he is spiraling. But on the right, many see something very different.

A young man standing firm in his faith, unapologetically professing his love of Jesus, and refusing to bow.

So when did faith become a disqualifier in America? And why is speaking your beliefs now treated like a mental health crisis?

 

At the same time, the dysfunction in Washington hits a new level. Congress is on vacation while the Department of Homeland Security remains unfunded.

Let that sink in. Our national security agency hangs in the balance while lawmakers disappear. The United States Senate, in particular, should be ashamed.

I say bring them back. Do your job. Fund the government. Protect the country.

This is about priorities. And right now, the American people are not at the top of the list.

Supreme Court Rules 8-1 Against Colorado’s Ban on ‘Conversion Therapy’ for Minors – Justice Jackson Dissents

The US Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled 8-1 against Colorado’s ‘conversion therapy’ ban for LGBTQ minors.

Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.

The lawsuit was filed by Christian talk therapist Kaley Chiles.

Kaley Chiles argued that Colorado’s ban on her talk therapy methods violated her First Amendment rights.

Chiles counsels children and minor teens struggling with gender identity issues.

Justice Gorsuch agreed and said Colorado’s ban on certain talk therapy methods “censors speech based on viewpoint.”

“Under our precedents, bedrock First Amendment principles have far less salience when the speakers are medical professionals,” Justice Jackson wrote, according to NBC News.

NBC News reported:

In a blow to LGBTQ rights, the Supreme Court on Tuesday ruled that Colorado’s ban on conversion therapy aimed at youths struggling with their sexual orientation or gender identity violates the free speech rights of a conservative Christian therapist.

The 8-1 decision in favor of therapist Kaley Chiles on her claim brought under the Constitution’s First Amendment is likely to have national implications — more than 20 states have similar laws. It could also have an impact on other forms of medical treatment that involve speech.

Writing for the majority, Justice Neil Gorsuch said that “the First Amendment stands as a shield against any effort to enforce orthodoxy in thought or speech in this country.”

Colorado’s law “does not just ban physical interventions,” Gorsuch wrote. It also “censors speech based on viewpoint.”

In deciding the case, the court embraced Chiles’ argument that the Colorado law banning conversion therapy regulates speech, not conduct, as Colorado had argued.

As such, the measure is not like other health care regulations that focus on conduct, the court concluded. The case, decided on the global Transgender Day of Visibility, will now return to the lower courts.
